I am so proud of this partnership. GC has been in sore need of an upper-scale dining spot amidst…read morethe sea of diners and fast food, and Momo was the perfect choice. The venue has been updated and has been redone in primarily black and white paint and accents. It's nice - not dated, not trying to look fancier than it is. It's comfortable and approachable. They have taken out many of the tables from the previous spot so you feel like there is room around you to breathe. The chairs are SO comfortable, too. They're inviting and even two hours later we still commented on how good they felt. If you've been to the Riverfront location, the menu will be very familiar. They have added a few new options but have primarily stuck with what they know they do well, which is smart while they're just opening up. We started with the smoked chicken thighs and the deviled eggs (which we ordered when we saw them being delivered to another table and needed to have them!), both SO good. My never-ending pet peeve is when you order something and it comes with too many or not enough for the table - like 5 deviled eggs for a 4-top. For my entree, I ordered the steak frites. I don't eat a lot of red meat, so this was a special treat and they did not disappoint. The medium rare was perfect and the fries were yummy as always. Both of the dessert specials sounded good, so we decided to get them both so everyone at the table could have a bite. I will be back, for sure. My only spot for opportunity was the parking lot. It is VERY dark. I don't know that I would truly feel comfortable walking there at night - there are some trip hazards and it's not the safest if you're alone, so I hope they add in some spotlights and a path.

But, I really liked my sandwich (the Meredith) so this may be a splurge when I'm visiting my hometown. My mom had the Chicken Salad Sandwich and said it was okay, but had a lot of celery in it and she's not a fan (neither am I). Our sides were pretty small, which was a bit of a bummer. Overall, I'm a Turkey + Brie fan and the focaccia bread was delish so I'll be back and plan to spend a few more coins.

That said, my company was a lua themed party at The Paradiso by the pool, which I never knew existed! I will say, the navigation and parking here is a challenge and moreover, the extended area outside can be a bit sketchy but in the relative vicinity it's safe. Walking up, I took the side entrance to the pool area under the tents. The staff here were very nice and engaging. I was able to get a plethora of drinks and strike up good conversations. I had two glasses of a Pino which was decent but, I'm not going to complain about "free." The food, well it was simple, by design in that's what we ordered. We had chicken fingers, sliders, crudies of carrots, olives and you get the point. It was fresh and while not earth shattering, it did it's purpose. They did offer games like corn hole, rings and a slew of other fun activities which I'm not sure if my company brought or they had available but the environment was one of fun and enjoyment. I will admit it was HOT but unless I missed something, they couldn't control the weather! Perhaps a couple well placed fans would help, especially aimed at the lawn chairs and picknick tables. Overall, this is a decent venue to hold a company party, get together or whatever else a social activity might entail. The people are nice, the place is clean and safe. Again parking and weaving in and out of narrow streets can be a slight adventure.

The space is warm, stylish, and inviting, with fabulous leather couches..perfect for slowing down and enjoying a great glass of wine. The wine selection is the real star here: thoughtfully curated, well balanced, and clearly chosen with care.

The staff are knowledgeable and happy to offer recommendations, which makes the experience even better. The offer Charcuterie along with other nibbles. We did not imbibe today. It's the kind of place where you come for "one glass" and end up lingering over a bottle (as we did) longer than planned. Such a great addition to North Mount Pleasant--I'll absolutely be back to continue working my way through the wine list.

It was intimate and cozy, perfect ambiance for a sweet date night! Reservations definitely recommended. We ordered a little bit of everything- biscuit, chicory salad, salmon crudo, swordfish, and pork rigatoni. Everything was excellent, specifically the salad and the swordfish! I truly think the chicory salad is the best salad I've ever had. The portion sizes were perfect and everything was super fresh and flavorful. We paired our dinner with a Verdejo white wine and it was amazing. The staff were super knowledgeable and descriptive with the menu options. While we were 100% satisfied with our choices, we kept eyeing the schnitzel and the burger that everyone was ordering. There was plenty of bar seating available and we were already planning our next dinner there for those two meals!

I came to Lowland Tavern after a Spoleto Festival performance with friends. The overall location…read morewas a convenient 6 minutes walking distance from the Gaillard Center. Upon entering, the restaurant was VERY dimly lit with a tavern-like aesthetic. We started with drinks: a hugo spritz and a campari spritz. Both were good! Unfortunately, things kind of went downhill a bit after that--not because of the food, but mainly for the service. Our waitress seemed annoyed with our party from the get-go. To be fair, some of our friends did arrive about 25 minutes later than expected (from another Spoleto event), but we were very up front about their delay upon arriving to the restaurant. Beyond that, our waitress just never smiled and always gave us looks that just made us feel like a burden. The menu is also poorly organized. Appetizers are not separated from mains--which is annoying when you're deciding what you want (thinking it's a main when it's not). For appetizers, we ultimately ordered the lowland biscuit, the celery salad, and the yellowfun tuna + snapper crudo. All were very tasty and well made! The celery salad is so refreshing! But that biscuit is absolutely delicious! We loved all of them! For my main, I split a tavern burger with my sister. Also very good and very cheesy! Our friends ordered drinks and the butterscotch desert. We all enjoyed the food, just wish the menu was better delineated and the service was better. For my campari spritz, and splitting the appetizers/main, I paid $91.60 with tax and tip. Given that Charleston has so many amazing restaurants, I'm not sure my first choice would be to return here purely due to the aforementioned. I'm giving them 4/5 stars purely for the food.

There's plenty of parking, the interior was spacious with bar seating, standard dining tables and high tops. They have music bingo every Wednesday which I highly recommend! It was laid back, not too loud and host had great humor.
